The War Powers Act itself is unconstitutional.

I disagree. You may contractually give away any of your Constitutional rights that you desire and Congress may do the same. They, however, cannot do it for you, so I agree with your example of unconstitutionality.

I don't buy that. Just because Nixon was stupid enough to sign away constitutional rights does not mean those same constitutionally guaranteed rights are denied to his successors.

btw, I personally do not believe that Obama violated the Constitution by attacking Iraq. I was simply drawing attention to the hypocrisy of those in power now.
